It started during a 1909 Mother's Day celebration, when a Washington woman wanted to do something to honor fathers. The idea spread, but it wasn't until 1966 that President Lyndon Johnson proclaimed Father's Day a national observance. Sons and daughters talk about fathers and fatherhood here and on Page A12.
